I don't understand this statement.
Hehe, what is a long long? Yes, you are totally right. Still, I assert
that C is still the defacto most portable language on Earth. What other
language runs on as many OS's and CPUs ? None that I can think of.
A long long is at least 64-bits long. I like 1's compilent because it handles shifting
properly.
Again, I'm not sure how this follows. Right shifting signed quantities is
undefined because different CPUs handle it differently---some copy the sign
bit, some don't. I don't see how being 1's complement fixes this.
